Abstract: 10,772. Poure, C., and Sauton, P., [trading as Poure et Sauton, C.]. May 7. Separating and sorting gauges.-In apparatus for gauging and sorting corks, a rotatable plate A is mounted behind a shoot D down which the corks are fed, and the plate has a number of spring-controlled arms B and plugs F adapted to press against the corks, which, when the plate is rotated, can be released therefrom at different positions by the engagement of the arms with a fixed cam-surface C. The corks in their descent rest on a ledge E, and as the plate is rotated the arms B leave the highest part of the cam and allow the plugs to press the corks against the plate, with which they are carried round until the arm is engaged by a sufficiently high step of the cam-surface, a development of which is shown in Fig. 3. The corks within the sorting limits fall when released into corresponding shoots G; those corks which are altogether too small are immediately pushed off the ledge into a shoot J by means of studs K on the plate, and those which are too large are released by the last step of the cam and fall into a shoot H.

Abstract: 5650. Naudet, L. March 6, 1913, [Convention date]. Extracting sugar.-In a forced-circulation diffusion process, such as that described in Specification 2928/04, the juice during forcing is conveyed to the measuring-tank m, and the heaters s can be cut out of the circuit, so that forced circulation can be effected at a temperature up to 112‹ C. and under constant volume, while mashing is performed at below 80‹ C. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, a three-way cock r connects pipes 1, 2, 3, so that, during forcing, the juice drawn from the battery by a pump p is passed through the heaters s, the pipe f, the diffuser under treatment, and the pipes 1, 2 to the tank m. For mashing, the cock r is turned to connect the pipes 1, 3, so that the heaters are cut out, and for supplying additional juice to the vat m from the battery, the cock r is turned to connect the pipes 2, 3, the heaters being still out of the circuit. If it is desired to supply the additional juice to the vat m in a hot condition, a two-way cock r and a pipe 4, Fig. 8, are used, so that the juice is passed through the heaters s and the pipes f, 4, 2. A number of valves may be used in place of the cock r.

The drag lines 6 pass under pulleys 10, 8 on the sides of the scoop and over intermediate pulleys 9 on the levers, and are attached to the cross-bar 7. On hauling on the lines 6, the scoop is dumped, and as the body of the scoop rises, a weighted hook 15 engages the cross-bar and holds the scoop in the open position. The scoop is then lowered in the open position by the rope 12, and when on the ground, the weighted hook falls away from the bar 7. The open scoop may then be dragged through material by hauling on the ropes 6. A rope 13 regulates the depth to which the scoop may be dropped. In the form shown in Fig. 6, drag lines 21 are attached to the ends of the cover arms 17 and pass under pulleys 22 at the rear of the scoop and over pulleys 23, 24, 25 on the arms. A hoisting-rope 19 is attached to a crossbar 20. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the scoop is closed by hauling on a rope 34 and is hoisted by hauling on the ropes 31, 34 together. It is dumped by holding the rope 31 and paying out the rope 34. Drag lines 26 and a regulating-line 33 are provided. Figs. 11 and 12 show a form similar to that shown in Fig. 3.
